The devil descended from the sky, and his fists suppressed the mountains and rivers

Chapter 345 The Four Leaders' Profound Skills Are Truly Exceptional (Part 2)
Dieter had already removed the gauze from half of his face. His immense spiritual power condensed into a tangible form in mid-air, transforming into strands of golden threads that converged behind him, forming a pair of enormous eyes that looked down upon the crowd on the ground, much like weaving brocade.

Zhou Qingchen and the others did not look away, but met those eyes. Immediately, a large number of golden threads shot out from the void and wrapped around their bodies.

These golden threads were constantly being pulled and contracted, as if trying to pull their lives and souls out of their bodies and drag them into the cycle of reincarnation.

This is the "Eye of Rebirth," formed by powerful spiritual energy. Its influence on the soul is particularly terrifying. Anyone who looks into it will be haunted by golden threads and forced to reincarnate.

As Ditto's primary target, Yi Beidou undoubtedly bears the greatest pressure. However, after his recent battle with Lianhua and others, his state of mind has become more perfect, and he has gained a deep understanding of spiritual cultivation methods. It would be wishful thinking to subdue him with such methods.

A jade-like color quickly covered his entire body. Yi Beidou stared directly into those eyes in the void. Countless threads pulled with all their might, but they could not shake him in the slightest.

It stands firm and unmoving, like a pillar stabilizing the sea.

"Is that all? The more bandages you remove, the stronger you should be. Are you only using half your strength?"

Yi Beidou said calmly.

"You're right, this is just the beginning."

Dieter's voice was equally unreadable, as he continued to untie the bandages until only the top of his head remained unremoved.

At the same time, he formed a hand seal, and a miraculous scene unfolded. His body seemed to wriggle, and two new bodies emerged from his body and stood beside him.

These two bodies, though different in appearance and build from Dieter's, share a sense of intertwined destiny and cause and effect.

Everyone knows that these two bodies cannot be real flesh and blood, but no one can detect the abnormality that makes them so convincingly realistic.

"Three lifetimes? Buddhist supernatural powers?!"

Ding Huiyuan narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't help but speak.

Legend has it that the highest realm of Buddhism is to traverse the river of time, know the past and the future, understand past lives and present lives, and realize that the past, present and future exist simultaneously, thus possessing the three bodies and incredible supernatural powers.

Legend has it that only the Buddha attained this level of spiritual cultivation, and thus, he exists eternally in the past, present, and future.

"Buddhist supernatural powers? Siddhartha merely borrowed our 'rebirth method' from the Realm of Rebirth. It's just that you are ignorant and mistakenly believe that he created it."

Upon hearing this, Dieteru turned his gaze towards Ding Huiyuan, instantly freezing him in place. His thoughts, body, and even his magnetic field were all frozen. If it weren't for his Buddhist practice and his selfless wisdom, which allowed him to maintain a glimmer of spiritual awareness, he might have died a confused ghost if the other party had gotten close to him at this moment.

Similar to the Divine General's Mansion, although it has a different name when it comes into contact with the secular world, the organization to which Ditto belongs is actually called the "Rebirth Domain". It is skilled in various spiritual mystic arts, and many legends about the afterlife in the mortal world are actually related to the Rebirth Domain.

As a spiritual practitioner of extraordinary stature, Shakyamuni Buddha inevitably drew inspiration from the realm of rebirth in his Taoist practices and supernatural powers.

Furthermore, this involves a secret: when Shakyamuni Buddha attained enlightenment through the power of the wishes of all beings and extinguished his last true self in the Sumeru Realm, the ancestral realm he crashed into with the power of the Sumeru Realm was the Rebirth Realm where Ditru was located.

The past is past.

Just then, the middle-aged man standing to Dieter's left suddenly spoke, his voice booming like a celestial decree, almost like a mantra.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone suddenly felt as if the space around them had frozen, and everything became incredibly strange. The scene before them was like a photograph, and they were all framed within it.

A photograph represents something that has happened in the past and cannot be changed.

Yi Beidou was also subjected to terrifying suppression. He felt as if he had become completely disconnected from his surroundings for a moment, and he couldn't even perceive the passage of time. Trying to move his flesh and strength was like fighting against time.

He became "the past," and the past, once set in stone, cannot be changed.

"Severing ties? Or rather, severing causality?"

Yi Beidou quickly realized the key point.

Dieter cut off his connection with the outside world, severing the connection between his mind and body. This effect was even spreading; he felt his thinking becoming sluggish, his thoughts becoming fragmented. The terrifying mental power of the other party was severing the connection between his thoughts.

When all these connections are severed, he can be said to be completely isolated from "reality," and it seems no different from living in the "past."

Old ginger is spicier. As the most important fighting force among the five leaders, Ditto's strength is even above that of Long Yichen.

Without Lotus's help in overcoming the demonic tribulation, Yi Beidou would probably have had to put in a lot of effort to deal with an attack of this magnitude.

But now, after sensing the other party's intentions, he immediately calmed his mind, the power of jade spread into his body, and the demonic flames burned in his body at the same time to block the invasion of the other party's supernatural powers, and reforged his body into an iron plate. It looked like he was about to get rid of the "past" state.

"Now, I am the only one who reigns supreme!"

Ditru's true form suddenly spoke, and his hands also formed hand seals.

boom! !

A terrifying sense of oppression swept towards Yi Beidou; it was a mental technique woven from pure and immense spiritual power.

As if Mount Tai were pressing down, as if the sky were collapsing and the earth were sinking, even Yi Beidou's body reacted unconsciously, responding to this pressure with the anti-pressure posture of the Heavenly Demon Asking the Way.

It had been a long time since Yi Beidou had felt such intense pressure.

Before he could adjust, the more withered old man to the right of Ditru's main body spoke, his voice filled with desolation and compassion.

"In the future, all things will eventually return to stillness."

As the voice faded, Yi Beidou actually felt that the demonic flames and jade power on his body seemed to be melting and weakening. This power was definitely not of the mortal realm, as it could even affect the jade power.

This is the power of the "Great God of the Samsara of the Sea" that Ditru carries.

"Reincarnation!!"

The suppression was complete. At this moment, the three incarnations spoke simultaneously. The void beneath Yi Beidou suddenly cracked open, revealing a dark hole that exuded a terrifying, chilling aura. Countless black wisps of energy extended out like tentacles and wrapped around Yi Beidou's body.

It was clearly visible that the crimson demonic flames and the jade-like life energy were being peeled off from Yi Beidou's body along with the black tendrils.

Yi Beidou's life fluctuations are rapidly declining.

The other four leaders of the Investiture of the Gods looked solemn. Durand's hand was already in his pocket, seemingly ready to fiddle with the "stopwatch" at any moment to "rewind" and prevent any accidents from happening.

They were well aware of the terrifying power of Ditru, which could drag a living being, from soul to magnetic field, into "reincarnation," utterly annihilating and destroying it.

If we're not careful, a situation that no one wants to see may arise.

However, their worries were unnecessary.

"I see. All things will perish. This power not only affects living beings, but it seems to be able to affect physical matter as well. However, you don't seem to be able to do that yet." Yi Beidou's face showed a thoughtful expression, like a wine connoisseur savoring fine wine, and he sighed after a long while.

Within the Penglai Technique, there is also the power of "calamity and filth," but this power only affects living beings and cannot influence the surrounding environment or real objects. However, Ditto's ability is different; he can sense that if this power is brought to its extreme, it seems to have a real effect on reality.

In other words, it can effectively accelerate the destruction and demise of objects.

This is an effect that is beyond comprehension and beyond our understanding.

However, that would probably require the strength of an Earth Immortal to achieve, just like the Penglai Earth Immortal that Yi Beidou saw in his synesthesia. Could it be that the essence of the power of the God-Consecrating Ones is actually equivalent to that of an Earth Immortal?
"Although the Penglai Immortal Arts contain the power of calamity and filth, their essence is still 'life'. The dissolution of life is only to better perceive the vitality of life, extract it, and transform it into life energy."

"And this power seems to have been generated simply from the deduction of the annihilation of all things. Could it be that the power of the Earth Immortal, or life energy, has different effects when extracted using different divine methods?"

A conjecture arose in Yi Beidou's mind.

He originally thought that the effects of life energy were all the same, possessing the power to strengthen the body and solidify external objects, but now it seems that this is not the case. This is probably the unique effect of the power of jade, which corresponds to the characteristics of "life".

The bio-energy characteristics possessed by different immortals are probably not the same; this is a new world.

Although Ditto's power is extremely terrifying in nature, it has not truly reached the level of "celestial power" and is still somewhat different from the jade power that Yi Beidou possesses. It is impossible to force him to a dead end by using this power.

boom! !

The next moment, a burst of blue and red demonic flames erupted from Yi Beidou's body. He raised his calf and stomped hard on the ground.

The ground trembled violently, and the thick metal layer beneath it caved in. At the same time, the demonic flames around him spread out with the stomp, forming ripples that surged outwards.

This was the impact of magnetic field mixed with physical energy. The air in the basement surged instantly, and many of the gods were affected by the ripples, their bodies swaying under the impact.

The dark entrance beneath Yi Beidou's feet bore the brunt of the impact.

In an instant, the entrance to reincarnation on the ground trembled violently, and the black aura surrounding Yi Beidou collapsed. In this instantaneous burst, he broke free from the suppression of Dietrich III, his aura surging like a tidal wave, and the entrance to reincarnation on the ground completely dissipated.

This scene left many of the deities in a state of complete silence.

They were well aware of the extent to which Dietru had used the power of the Heavenly Monarch, yet this man had broken through it so easily.

Is the one standing in front of them really not a celestial being?
"Is there anything even stronger?"

Yi Beidou said calmly, his gaze falling on Ditru's head, which was still wrapped in gauze.

He had a premonition that if Ditrus removed all the gauze from his head, he might be able to truly unleash the power of that force.

However, Dietrich remained silent.

Although he was confident he could kill any life on the ground if he broke all the seals, the price would be too high, and he probably wouldn't be able to participate in any more battles afterward.

This is just a friendly spar. Reaching this point already shows that we've lost some of our strength. Continuing to fight would not be a wise choice.

"Mr. Yi's strength is indeed extraordinary. How about I, this old man, learn from him?"

Just then, Durand broke the silence. He took a step forward, and in a flash, Durand, who was using a cane, had already passed Dieter and stood in front of Yi Beidou.

Even Zhou Qingchen and the others were completely unaware of the gentleman's movements.

It's this feeling again.

Yi Beidou narrowed his eyes slightly. He couldn't see clearly how the old man moved. This was something that couldn't be explained by physical speed.

Seeing that Durand had stepped in to help, Dieter didn't continue to attack. He slowly retreated and rewrapped the gauze around his head.

He stared intently at Yi Beidou, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

He once looked down on this so-called strongest young man in the secular world, but now he has experienced his prowess firsthand.

Perhaps Long Yichen is right. A new era is dawning, and it may be time for them to make changes to what they have been holding onto.

"Mr. Yi, I am not good at close combat. How about we end the sparring once you can get close enough to touch my body?"

Durand said with a smile.

"interesting."

Yi Beidou narrowed his eyes slightly and stepped forward.

Suddenly, he was slightly taken aback, and realized that he hadn't actually taken a step, as if the movement he had just made was an illusion.

"Mr. Yi, you haven't answered my question yet. Perhaps you didn't hear me clearly. Let's try again."

Durand said with a smile.

The next moment, Yi Beidou noticed that the behavior and expressions of the people around him seemed to have changed without him even realizing it.

It's like a videotape played in reverse, returning to a familiar moment from the past.

"Mr. Yi, I am not good at close combat. How about we end the sparring once you can get close enough to touch my body?"

Just then, Durand spoke again, smiling as he said the same thing as before, with even the slightest change in his facial expression.

No one else around them showed any unusual behavior.

Could this person's ability truly be time travel, allowing them to rewind time and bring everything around them back to the past?
Yi Beidou did not answer Durand's question, nor did he continue to take a step forward. Instead, he suddenly stretched out a finger and drew it across his arm.

The next moment, he was slightly dazed, and his entire body returned to its original position, as if time had truly reversed.

But at this moment, Yi Beidou's face became even calmer.

"It seems it wasn't a true time reversal. Otherwise, you shouldn't have stopped me. You should have waited until I cut my arm before reversing time to let my wound heal completely. That way, you could have brought me the greatest pressure and despair."

"Illusion? It doesn't seem like it. If it were a mental influence, I wouldn't be completely unaware. Apart from a true Earth Immortal, I can't think of anyone in this world who could completely deceive my will without a sound. It can't affect physical matter, and it's not a mental influence. It seems to be an extremely sophisticated method of influencing the life magnetic field within a living being."

Yi Beidou spoke calmly, slowly analyzing the situation, and Durand's smile froze slightly.
